The year 2020 will long be remembered for it's tectonic shift of attitudes and behaviors regarding race and racism. Major shifts are happening right now in the United States and perhaps the world. God's Holy Spirit is moving in every village and town, suburb and city. God is raising up people to make significant progress in "Dismantling Racism."
Joanne and I are committed to helping local congregations deal with this shift using Centering Prayer, Leadership Training and Small Groups. We bring decades of experience in "Christian Conferencing," the method favored by Rev. John Wesley to discern the will of God for individuals and congregations in any given situation. (Some great resources are found at: www.bit.ly/EndRacismUMC)
Even while we are still largely living a "Safe at Home" existence die to the Covid-19 epidemic, our congregations can begin to organize, explore, learn, connect and reach out RIGHT NOW!
We do this with a deep commitment to the unconditional love of God, the graceful forgiveness of Jesus Christ and a ongoing, eternal living in God's Holy Spirit. As discipled Citizens of Heaven, (Phil 3:20) we grow ever deeper in our love of God and of our neighbor.
Call us today and let's begin a conversation about "Eradicating Racism" in your locality.
